Some great tips at the above website during Irene and now we have Sandy to contend with! What I learned from the article:
Follow Twitter Streams of Local Information - I have "liked" our county government and EMS pages to stay up to date.
Text Messaging Has a Better Chance of Getting Through - didn't know that!
So after stopping for water and milk I will be sure to have all our gadgets updated and charged in case Sandy stops by! I hope everyone is safe.

Apple opened pre-sales of its iPad mini tablet Friday, and while some black versions of the tablet are still displaying a Nov. 2 delivery date, the white tablet sold out in less than a half-hour.
Cellular models for both colors are showing “mid-November” shipping dates, while black WiFi models were still available as of a 10:45 a.m. visit to Apple’s Web site.
This blog is not meant to highlight apple products or the apple craze but when I hear about a new product on the market the reminder to blog is there. In other non apple news I am increasingly amazed and the level of connectivity we have these days. At our house we just updated our DirectTV box. It is now connected to my wireless network, the upstairs TV and my tablet. I can even get pandora and other supported apps through my DirectTV box. I have planned to one day have pandora streaming from my desktop, tablet, laptop and televisions just to freak out my husband. But in truth the connectivity that we are now seeing is amazing. New televisions, DVDs and surround sounds connect to your home internet. Verizon is advertising a new product for home monitoring and energy conservation. It might we worth a visit to your service providers to see what new plans and programs that you can upgrade to often for very little money.
Have you upgraded lately?
